Do you actually examine your traffic and drop packets that have non-zeros
in reserved fields?  (Remember what that did to the deployment of ECN?)

And there's plenty of room if you stick a TCP or IP option header in there. Do
you actually check for those too?

How fast can you send data to a cooperating router down the way if you splat
the low 3 bits of TCP timestamps on a connection routed towards the cooperating
router? (SUre, you just busted somebody's RTT calculation, but it will just
decide it's a high-jitter path and deal with it).
